Your First WWII Book

Almost forgot Bruce Canton American Heritage Civil War, also my first or second

My first books were the Winston Churchill World War 2 series. I started reading them when I was nine. Then it was Chester Wilmot’s Struggle for Europe. In High School, the Morrison series on US Naval Operations, along with a of other ones.
My first World War One book was T. E. Lawrence’s Revolt in the Desert. I picked up one of the reprints, and it is still a good read. Flows faster than Seven Pillars of Wisdom, of which I also have a couple of copies.

@Der:
Mine was probably one of the books in the Time-life series published about WWII.
Same, my Great-Grandfather had a bunch of those Time-life books that he gave to me.
